Time to get serious about gun control

I wish the news media would stop using sympathetic terms like “disturbed,” “troubled” or “loner,” etc., to describe Adam Lanza. Regardless of his mental state or condition at the time, it was an act of cowardice committed by a coward.

If a terrorist state bombed one of our elementary schools, killing 20 innocent first graders, we would be on our way to war. Isn’t it time we went to “war” against assault weapons and extended magazines, by making them available only to military and law enforcement?

According to the Centers for Disease Control, firearm homicides exceed 30 per day. How many more innocent people need to die before we get serious about gun control?
